How can I get a map from a list of strings, where the index is the key and the string is the value?
If I have such a list
List<String> list = List.of("foo","bar","baz","doo");
I want to get a Map<Integer,String> like
{0=foo, 1=bar, 2=baz, 3=doo}
When I do the following I get an error
static Map<Integer,String> mapToIndex(List<String> list) {
return IntStream.range(0, list.size())
.collect(Collectors.toMap(Function.identity(), i -> list.get(i)));
}
error
Required type:
int
Provided:
Object
When I cast it to int or Integer
static Map<Integer,String> mapToIndex(List<String> list) {
return IntStream.range(0, list.size())
.collect(Collectors.toMap(Function.identity(), i -> list.get((Integer) i)));
}
i get
‘collect(java.util.function.Supplier, java.util.function.ObjIntConsumer, java.util.function.BiConsumer<R,R>)’ in ‘java.util.stream.IntStream’ cannot be applied to ‘(java.util.stream.Collector<java.lang.Object,capture<?>,java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.String>>)’
What I am missing?
>Solution :
IntStream doesn’t have a collect() method taking a Collector as parameter, so you have to use boxed() to convert it to a Stream<Integer> :
static Map<Integer, String> mapToIndex(List<String> list) {
return IntStream.range(0, list.size()).boxed().collect(Collectors.toMap(Function.identity(), list::get));
}
